The shock wears off after several minutes of us staring at each other in silence. And God help me, why does it turn me on so badly, knowing the man I have a huge crush on is my stalker? This isn’t how I imagined it. Being stalked. “I’m sorry.” He swallows, his Adam’s apple bobbing. “Hannah, I’m sorry.” I keep staring at him, my silence deliberate. “Say something. Please ” I don’t think he deserves a response. I mean he did put me in chains, and scared me to death. “Why?” I finally ask. Why go this far? Why stalk me? I still haven’t ruled out the possibility that this is kidnapping. Not when I don’t know his reasons yet. “Because I’m sick,” he says. “A sick forty-seven year old man who’s obsessed with you.” My jaw drops. Obsessed? “You’re all I think about,” he continues quietly.
